Rick tyler who circulated the video apologized. Rubio snapped, thats not good enough. At some point there has to be a level of accountability or youre sending the message to people that work for you, go out and do anything you want and if you get caught, well just apologize but keep doing it. Reporter cruz announced hes asked tyler to step down. And this morning i asked for rick tylers resignation. I had made clear in this campaign that we will conduct this campaign with the highest standards of integrity. Reporter the bogus attack is the latest raising questions about how cruz has conducted his campaign. Trump seized on the flap tweeting more dirty tricks. Trump is also getting help in the form of an unforced error from john kasich whose awkward remark about the women backing his First State Senate campaign in the late 1970s annoyed one supporter. Weve got an army of people and many women who left their kitchens to go out and go door to door and put yard signs up for me. First off, i want to say your comment about the women came out of the kitchen to support you. Ill come to support you but i wont be coming out of the kitchen. I got you. Kasich later explained it was an off the cuff mark. Im real and maybe sometimes i might Say Something that isnt artfully said the way it should. Reporter trump is poised to wrap up another big victory in nevada. So we won with everything. We won with highly educated, pretty well educated and poorly educated. But we won with everything. Tall people, short people, fat people, skinny people. Just won. Reporter but rubio who spent part of his childhood in nevada and his supporters are getting aggressive. A prorubio superpac started airing this attack ad pounding trump and cruz. Trump erratic, unreliable. Cruz, calculated, underhanded. Reporter and rubio is attracting more establishment support picking up new gop endorsements. This is a threeway race. At the moment its between rubio, cruz and trump. Theres some others in the race but i dont think theyll be in the race that much longer. Some want kasich to drop out and funnel his support to rubio. Its funny. I think its ridiculous. Whats the fallout of cruz firing rick tyler . I think its pretty damaging to a campaign to have a Communications Director step down over a dirty trick. As one cam pawn veteran once told me, you never want the staff to be the story. Thats what happened here. In addition to being untrue, it was plain dumb. No one questions marco rubios faith. Now you have marco rubio and donald trump slamming cruz as dishonest. A rubio spokesperson sent us a statement saying theres a culture in the Cruz Campaign from top to bottom that no lie is too big. Trump has been hammering this theme for weeks. Tonight he can come out to this crowd in las vegas and say, i told you so. This was a tough day for ted cruz. Tough day for john kasich. And the beneficiary primarily was donald trump. Jim acosta, thanks. More on the cruz shakeup. Top opponents and surrogates have been speaking out. Listen to what a rubio supporter said in the situation room. Rick tyler wasnt the problem, isnt the problem. This thing has gone on for some time. I was there in iowa on the ground when the rumors started flying that ben carson was going to drop out and people should consolidate with cruz. I was astonished. I asked people, where is this coming from . They said it was coming from the Cruz Campaign. It started then and then there was this apology that came out. Then the photo shopped picture of marco rubio shaking hands with president obama with their left hands and heads placeod the wrong thing. This is a cultural problem within this campaign. Joining us is cruz supporter and former Virginia Attorney general ken cuccinelli. A rough day for senator cruz having to get his communication directors resignation, although he just called him a staffer. Is this a more systemic problem inside the campaign . No, weve run a campaign to the highest integrity from the beginning. When Something Like this happens, the senator act with decisive action. Asked rick to resign. And, in fact, rick did resign. Were never going to be a campaign that questions the faith of other candidates. Thats not going to happen. And senator cruz made that exceptionally clear in the clearest way he could by asking for the resing iination of the Communications Director. Were trying to turn become to the things that matter to americans lives like getting a flat tax to wipe out the special Interest Groups benefits and to improve our economy. And to address the concerns that people in nevada and the super tuesday states are talking about. And thats, how do we get our economy going and teds plan to do that as well as fighting isis at the border and so you dont think voters care if a candidate is doing dirty tricks or photo shopping a candidates has on someone elses body and putting out flyers or spreading rumors . I think what Republican Voters care most about is finding a candidate who has got a track record of fighting against washington, going down to the senate floor, telling the truth about whats going on, even among republican senators. So how do you explain including our leadership, when they are wrong. Pardon me . How do you explain the photo shopped flyer . You know, thats just graphics. Its making a visual point. Its not a substantive point. Substance is whats your plan to get the economy going again . What is your record of voteding and leading in washington to defeat the establishment. So if a News Organization put a picture in the history of the world has gone to iowa and told the good people of iowa that big corn and ethanol has to go. If a News Organization superimposed your head on somebody elses body shaking president obamas hand youd have no problem with that as long as you thought people knew it was some sort of dramatic representation . My first concern is always my first concern is always going to be, is what they are saying there correct or not. And the substance of what weve been saying is absolutely correct. Interesting. So if cruzs rivals, especially trump and rubio, have obviously been trying to paint your candidate as untrustworthy. Trump tweeted, wow, ted cruz falsely suggested thats marco rubio mocked the bible. More dirty tricks. Obviously it wasnt cruz himself saying this. It was rick tyler in a tweet. Are you concerned the trust question, though, could hurt him tomorrow and beyond . Well, trust is always a big deal. Americans dont trust anything in politics. They dont trust you all in the media. They dont trust people in washington. And you need to overcome that, you need a track record. Teds track record goes back to when he was a teenager memorizing the constitution and making his way around texas teaching people about it through being the solicitor general, winning awards as the texas solicitor general that democrats supported him for what a good job he did defending the constitution. And then moving on to the senate and continuing that as the only consistent conservative in this race. If your candidate doesnt win texas, is that it for him . Obviously, a home state is absolutely critical. Were not going to make any bones about that. You have to win your home state. Really to have a viable path forward. And right now, with teds popularity in texas, we see him heading to cruzing, in his case, to a victory. Hes visited more time than any other candidate in the super tuesday states. We have more cash on hand than all the other campaigns combined. So were prepared for that next weeks worth of battles in all of these states as the race goes from one state at a time to national. Ken cuccinelli, appreciate it. Well be covering it all from las vegas. Joining us is adam chan and Kevin Mattingly and gloria borger. The shakeup of the Cruz Campaign, rick tyler. Weve had him on this program a lot. On the heels of the foetso shopped picture and these other things, how do you see it playing out in nevada . Trump, according to recent polls is the favorite in chicagchicagnevada. Its a caucus. So who really knows. The ground game matters. Trump has spent a lot of time in vegas and his name is on the top of a hotel there so hes well known. I think what this whole cruz brouhaha does is it reinforces a preexisting condition which is the story line that cruz is a liar, which, like many things in this campaign, the tempo was set by donald trump who originally called cruz a liar. Then rubio sort of picked it up and ran with the same theme. And cruz found himself on the defensive to the point where today he had to fire someone and i think as a result, he may have sort of stoked the flames of the story line rather than extinguishing it. What do you think about this, autumn. You heard from ken cuccinelli. This isnt what they think about. Here in nevada, gloria brought it up. Its about the ground game and issues that matter to nevada voters. Ted cruz put out a vote saying he wants to return federal lands. Anyone from nevada knows 85 of nevadas lands are owned by the federal government. Its smart for ted cruz and marco rubio said at a rally that we want to return those lands to the nevadans. Its going to be interesting to see what plays out. One thing that needs to be said is Donald Trumps popularity, maybe a tower in the south but hes not as popular as people think. In a state where the ground game is crucial, the rubio and Cruz Campaign are much more organized and theyve been here doing the work for months thats trump should have been doing back in aucts. October. Do you think trump is vulnerable . Yeah. I think donald trump is trying to continue in many of these, test the old model with his new model. The idea that you can go in there and dominate earned media, that you can dominate the local television coverage, that the momentum at a critical time like this is probably more important than whether or not you have people out knocking on doors. So its that, when he tried to test that approach in iowa, he didnt win. But now that hes got the momentum with big wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, i think he does have a certain advantage. He has the wind at his back as he goes into nevada. You are expecting record turnout . Yeah, we go to the rallies. You see the candidates, their events. Were going to have an alltime high. Cruz and rubio will be the reason we have that high turnout. They are getting their support together. I just dont see and kevin talked about the wind at the back of donald trump. I dont see as he won South Carolina with 30 . I see that 65 of South Carolina did not vote for donald trump. You look around the country. Hes really hit a ceiling. Hes going to have an issue going into super tuesday. If he starts losing some of the southern states, theres a big issue in the trump campaign. As long as there are multiple other candidates out there, the vote not going to trump is divided. Right. Conversely, rubio has to start winning somewhere. Trump may lose somewhere but rubio has to start winning. And thats, you know, thats really his issue. And rubio has coalesced or the beginnings of the socalled establishment coalescing around rubio. Some of the jeb bush money. Former donors for jeb may go to rubio, and thats good for him. Hes organized but he is still in this tight race with cruz over second place. And at some point, you have to win somewhere. And rubio hasnt won anywhere yet. And he somebody who spent his he has a story to tell in that state which hes been telling about growing up there to a degree. So maybe the voters of nevada will see him in a way as a favorite son to a degree. Kasich says he laughed about the idea of him getting out. How big a problem does he pose for rubio . I think it depends on the state. If you look at nevada, john kasich and adam could probably attest to this. Hes got limited organizations in some of these march 1 states. But the fact he has 8 or 9 in some of those states that marco rubio would love to have in order to take on donald trump, you know, he is an important factor. Hes going to continue to look at march 15th, john kasich is, march 15th and his prospects in ohio. And that is a crucial window where marco rubio really has to consolidate some of that antitrump or the alternative to trump vote if hes going to start to pick up the momentum hes going to need to start overcoming overtaking donald trump in the delicate fight. Are you officially endorsing a candidate . Well, im going to officially endorse the republican nominee. And i think that nevadans are sophisticated voters that need to realize when they go to the caucus tomorrow they need to vote for the person thats actually conservative and not persp perpetuate the divisions. Ill attest to what kevin said about kasich. Every candidate is in reno yesterday or today. O only candidate who hasnt come to nevada is john kasich. Hes looking at the super tuesday states and hoping his donors can keep him well until midmarch to get those midwest states. I understand your entire family is muslim. What do you make of Donald Trumps comments about temporarily banning muslims from the United States . He has rudimentary knowledge of the constitution. The people came to this country for religious freedoms. The most unamerican thing you can do is persecute someone for who they believe in. Thats no better than the country my father came from. They are hanging people for worshiping a god thats not theirs. We can decide that, hey, were going to stick to the constitution and not do those things. I think voters have a lot to look at tomorrow. If trump is the nominee, would you support him . Ill support the republican nominee. And i think that whats more important than anything is making sure the clintons arent allowed to move back into sthe white house. Theres nothing that can be worse for american prosperity than a clinton administration. I think the republican nominee will be a true conserve pative thats willing to lead this country.

Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton facing voters in a cnn town hall. Today they were facing off with each other with senator sanders sharpening one of his main lines of attack. When the campaign began, as i recall, secretary clinton and her people were saying, well, yes, we have superpacs, but that money is going to be used against republicans. Well, guess what. Turns out not to be the case. Millions of dollars in superpac money is now being used against me. Thats was not all, though. More from brianna keilar. Reporter Bernie Sanders is trying to regain his momentum fresh off a loss to Hillary Clinton in the nevada caucuses. I am delighted that secretary clinton month after month after month seems to be adopting more and more of the positions that we have advocated. Thats good. And, in fact, is beginning to use a lot of the language and phraseology that we have. In fact, i think i saw a tv ad and thought it was me. Reporter sanders is going on the offensive tweeting about the lack of transcripts for clintons paid speeches saying its been 17 days, 16 hours and 32 minutes since Hillary Clinton said shed look into releasing her paid speeches to wall street. Hillary clinton is riding high after her rebound win in nevada and hoping for another victory in saturdays South Carolina primary. Clinton has an 18point lead over sanders in the palmetto state buoyed by her lead among black voters. And shes getting a little star power with a new Television Ad voiced by actor morgan freeman. She says their names. Trayvon martin, dontre hamilton. Sandra bland. And makes their mothers fight for justice her own. She speaks for a city poisoned by injustice. We need action now.
